Franklin Pierce University

Franklin Pierce University recognizes its highest goal to be the development of intellect and character. That which sets a Franklin Pierce education apart from others is that we demand that our students make contributions far larger than they could have hoped when they arrived.

Our purpose in this enterprise is to prepare citizens and leaders of conscience for a new century, whether our graduates' aspirations are global or local. We understand this to be the paramount charge and responsibility of the university.

Franklin Pierce University commits its energies and resources to create an academic home in the truest sense. Acting in continuity with our curricular theme of individual and community, the university educates students from a rich diversity of backgrounds who are committed to advancing their lives and the lives of others through hard work, high standards, and service.

As an academic home, we are a superior New England regional institution grounded in the liberal arts, the sciences, business, and related professional disciplines. This identity and the mission which animates it have a special influence on an ever-growing population of life-long learners through the College of Graduate and Professional Studies.
